Sub-elliptic boundary value problems for quasilinear operators.
We obtain (weighted) Poincaré type inequalities for vector fields satisfying the Hörmander condition for p < 1 under some assumptions on the subelliptic gradient of the function. Such inequalities hold on Boman domains associated with the underlying Carnot- Carathéodory metric. In particular, they remain true for solutions to certain classes of subelliptic equations. Our results complement the earlier results in these directions for p ≥ 1.
In this paper we furnish mean value characterizations for subharmonic functions related to linear second order partial differential operators with nonnegative characteristic form, possessing a well-behaved fundamental solution . These characterizations are based on suitable average operators on the level sets of . Asymptotic characterizations are also considered, extending classical results of Blaschke, Privaloff, Radó, Beckenbach, Reade and Saks. We analyze as well the notion of subharmonic function...
Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, with dim M ≥ 3, and f: ℝ → ℝ a continuous function which is sublinear at infinity. By various variational approaches, existence of multiple solutions of the eigenvalue problem , σ ∈ M, ω ∈ H₁²(M), is established for certain eigenvalues λ > 0, depending on further properties of f and on explicit forms of the function K̃. Here, stands for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,g), and α, K̃ are smooth positive functions. These multiplicity...
We study optimal control problems for partial differential equations (focusing on the multidimensional differential equation) with control functions in the Dirichlet boundary conditions under pointwise control (and we admit state - by assuming weak hypotheses) constraints.
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33 (main), 35A22, 78A25, 93A30The generalization of the concept of derivative to non-integer values goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, its application in physics and engineering remained unexplored up to the last two decades. Recent research motivated the establishment of strategies taking advantage of the Fractional Calculus (FC) in the modeling and control of many phenomena. In fact, many classical engineering...
